@magmacomputing/tempo-plugin-dialects

Community plugin for Tempo providing seamless support for external date formatting standards and library dialects, including Unicode LDML / UTS #35 (Luxon, date-fns), Moment.js / Day.js, and POSIX strftime (C, Python, SQL).

Installation

npm install @magmacomputing/tempo-plugin-dialects

Quick Start

1. Explicit Registration (Recommended)

import { Tempo } from '@magmacomputing/tempo';
import { DialectsPlugin, DIALECT } from '@magmacomputing/tempo-plugin-dialects';

Tempo.use(DialectsPlugin);

const t = new Tempo('2026-10-24T15:30:45');

// 1. Unicode LDML / Luxon formatting
t.format('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss', { dialect: DIALECT.Ldml }); // "2026-10-24 15:30:45"
t.dialects.ldml('dd LLL yyyy');                             // "24 Oct 2026"
t.toFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');                                   // Luxon drop-in alias

// 2. POSIX strftime formatting
t.format('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', { dialect: DIALECT.Strftime }); // "2026-10-24 15:30:45"
t.dialects.strftime('%B %d, %Y');                             // "October 24, 2026"

// 3. Dialect-based Parsing
Tempo.fromFormat('24/10/2026', 'dd/MM/yyyy');
Tempo.dialects.parse('2026-10-24 15:30', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm');
